Well, here we are. And I guess that before I get into anything, you deserve an explanation about why I decided to lock this site. If you have read lots you’ll know that essentially I don’t believe in on-line diary locking. And I still don’t; but this seemed a means to an end.
In my on-line diary excitement I gave out the address to several people who know me in my real life: Bevin/Groovy, my best friend from The College Years; assorted camp friends; Christin, a friend from college; Rachel, my best friend since we were 13; and Gretchen. I’m still not sure what inspired me to let Gretchen in on this place.
And so, it is essentially because of her that I have decided to lock this place up—at least temporarily.
I want to be able to talk about my life frankly here; isn’t that the point after all? Gretchen is a wonderful woman and a great friend/older sister type. However, she is extraordinarily judgmental about some of the choices I make with my life. I need to be able to write about being sad about moving, about missing Mr. Math, missing my friends and missing my former students. I need to be able to write about how she totally disappointed me by not being there the day I moved. I need to be able to write about Mr. Math and the drama that continues to transpire there; sometimes I need to be able to be angry or sad about him without justifying myself. I need to be able to write about my family and some new waters we are about to embark upon. I need to be able to chronicle my life.
It also isn’t that she and I aren’t friends. Because we are. Hell I’m even watching my Goddaughter in a few weeks… I just need her out of this part of my life--- she needs to hear from me in a filtered way.
I don't mind if you share the pass code stuff with others who you know are readers. Just so long as none of you share them with Gretchen we'll be good!
So, that’s that! And really, just in time because things might be getting good again with Mr. Math!
